Why meditate? To live in the moment. To dwell in the harmony of things. To awaken. Those moments in your life when there is an openness, a spacious quality to your existence - those are the moments that truly make life remarkable. Creating those moments is the focus of this program by Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher who has studied and practiced meditation for many years.

Ram Dass has been a leading figure in bringing Eastern teachings to the West since the early seventies. A trained psychologist and devotee of Neem Caroli Baba, Dass has experienced meditation in all its forms for many years. In this book he discusses a wide range of paths toward self realization and gives great guidance for choosing your own path. Also included in the book is a thorough discussion of common obstacles and how to overcome them. It is filled with the compassion and humor that Ram Dass is famous for. Great for beginner's who want a survey of the field and for experienced practitioners who want to go deeper.
